Sir Gawaine Drabble Four
The fourth of my four Sir Gawain challenge drabbles! The aim was to write 100 words in response to a section of the poem.
The masterpost of all drabbles will go up on the 31st October.
With every polished piece
no man shone more, it seemed
from here to ancient Greece.
He sent then for his steed.
Merlin has a little bit of a thing for Arthur’s armour.
It was a chore at first, cleaning it; but now he takes pride in polishing every piece to perfection. There’s just something… enticing about seeing Arthur in full armour, knowing that Merlin’s fingers worked on every piece of metal on his body. Knowing that Arthur, in battle, is as much a product of Merlin’s efforts as he is his own. It’s a symbol of their friendship.
That, and when Merlin imagines Arthur in armour, he can’t help but imagine what’s underneath it. But Arthur doesn’t mind that too much.
Thanks for reading :)
